Rating: Considering this is by the same person who wrote Blackmail,it's just kinda meh. The title alone deserves one Sahwit,and the other is for mild OoCness,grammar mistakes and the fact that Apollo and Ema-well,you'll see. It's a bit disturbing,to say the least.

The Sporkers:

-"Well,I'm back here once more. But it shouldn't be so bad at least. Right?" -"I don't like this place at all. Especially with what I've had to put up with. Blackmail, Damon Gant's Swimmingly Good Journal, A Story of Morals, and now Cowboy Up." -"Blackmail? Wasn't that the fic where Prosecutor Gavin made you his sex slave just so that the author would justify shipping you and Mr. Justice? And what's this about 'Cowboy Up'?" -"I have no idea what you're talking about,but already I feel nauseated." -"A pity you weren't there. It was quite the spectacle,really." -"Cheer up,everyone! It shouldn't be so bad as Cowboy Up,at least!"

Spoiler:

Our Sporkers meet up in the theatre,where Apollo,Ema and Lana have settled down while the rest are chatting at the snack bar.

Edgeworth:...So in 'Blackmail',Prosecutor Gavin threatens Ema with a report on her sister to be her sex slave....and she ACCEPTS?!

Phoenix: Yeah. It's pretty stupid. Though Cowboy Up was worse in terms of law AND sexism,but that's another story altogether. Anyway,you can open your ears now,Trucy! *he nudges her gently*

Trucy:Okay,Daddy! (I wonder what they were talking about...) So,what type of popcorn do you guys want?

Phoenix:Small. I'm more of a grape juice guy myself.

Edgeworth:I'll just have the bag. For...reasons.

Trucy:Okay,so I'm the only one having large,I guess. So let's go see how Polly and the rest are doing!

They go to the seats.

Trucy:Hey guys,whatcha been doing?

Apollo:Me and Ema have been explaining to her sister about the travesty that was Cowboy Up. Her reaction was-

Ema:She hated it more than we all did combined. She hates it as we all did combined,doubled it,squared it,and added-

Lana:Suffice to say I didn't like it. Hopefully we won't be seeing more of that this time.

Phoenix:Oh yeah,that reminds me. What're we seeing today,Management?

Speakers:Yawn,I don't feel like it today. You tell them,narrator.

Really,sir? Oh boy!

Apollo:(Weren't you previously condemning him for that?)

So this fic is,er,well,it's so good! It's based on two of you right over here,undergoing a pregnancy test and-

Edgeworth:I'm already scared as to which two of us it's going to be. *looks nervously at Phoenix*

Apollo:(She tenses up rather easily when her sister says something like that to her,I notice.)

Quote:

"If you say so. So how are things with you and Apollo?"

"He's so lovely to me, he treats me like a princess all the time now I live with him." Ema blushed.

"Told you he was the one." She smiled.

Trucy:Wait,so you're the one who got them together?

Lana:Well,this is certainly interesting. The wording,especially.

Edgeworth:I noticed that too,Ms.Skye. The way it's worded unnerves me. (It's almost as if they aren't married...)

Quote:

"You're in the wrong job Lana. Forget chief prosecutor of the district you can open a new business – 'Lana's matchmaking service'." Ema giggled. In a brief few moments she forgot about that test.

Edgeworth:Chief Prosecutor? *penalty* Nggooh!

Phoenix:Oh,right. Lana's the chief prosecutor in these fics. Forgot to tell you that.

Lana:Though I don't think my talents exactly lie in matchmaking,I'd think it'd be even harder for me to be the Chief Prosecutor again.

Quote:

"Good afternoon Ema." Her family doctor smiled warmly. "I haven't seen you in a while. I hear you got a man!"

"Yeah…" Ema smiled.

"So what can I do for you?"

"I need you to promise what I say won't leave this room, not even to my sister."

Apollo:You are really going out of your way to hide this,aren't you? From your sister as well as me,your husband here.

Edgeworth:(That is,if you are her husband here.)

Phoenix:Whatcha thinking about,Edgeworth?

Edgeworth:Hmm? Oh,nothing.

Lana:So it's a boy now? What do you think you'll name it?

Ema:I'd probably name it after...Mr.Marshall. He's done a lot to me.

Phoenix:Who? Jake or Neil?

Ema:Hmm....Ne-no,Jake.

Quote:

"We doctors aren't allowed to discuss our patients with anyone." She assured. "So can I help?"

"I need you to confirm something for me…" She reached into her bag. "I need you to check if this is right?"

"Is this what I think it is?" The doctor took it.

"A pregnancy test."

"Alright…"

Ema sat quietly for a couple of minutes before her doctor returned.

"The pregnancy test isn't lying, you are indeed pregnant."

Apollo:Well,shi-

Phoenix:Apollo! *points at Trucy*

Apollo:(Phew,that was close.)

Trucy:I wonder how she's going to react?

Quote:

Ema started to cry. To the outside world it was hard to tell if it was from joy or sadness but on the inside she was truly happy. She wanted a baby, she loved Apollo and she knew he was the one for her.

…Only has was she going to tell him?...

Edgeworth:"Has was"? Really?

Apollo:I swear,if she doesn't tell me by the end of this chapter...

Ema:This almost sounds like the plot for a soap opera.

Quote:

It had to be special. This was their first child after all. Besides, Apollo's a special guy.

Edgeworth:Hmm? Oh,er,nothing. I was just commenting on the lack of a second comma in that last line.

Phoenix:(I think I know what Edgeworth's thinking....and I'm with him,really.)

Quote:

"Everything ok then honey?" Lana asked as she drove Ema back to Apollo's.

"Yeah, just a bit of stomach ache, she said it will go on its own."

"Good, for a moment I thought it was a serious issue you had." Lana sighed.

Lana:Still lying to me,Ema? I would be just happy to hear that.

Ema:Come on,Sis! You know I'd never do that!

Edgeworth:That first line doesn't have a single comma in it. I don't think the author realises their importance.

Quote:

"Stop worrying about me." Ema smiled.

"Apollo!" Ema ran into his arms.

"Hey baby." He kissed her before looking to Lana.

"Hello Apollo." Lana smiled. "I've got to be off, by the way – I want to invite you two to dinner on Friday evening. The kids are going to Jake's parents so we've got the house to ourselves."

Lana:'Jake's parents'?

Edgeworth:NNGOH! *penalty* S-so...you're-

Lana:Married to Jake Marshall? Looks like it.

Apollo:(This just keeps getting better and better...)

Quote:

"I'd love too." Apollo smiled.

"Same here." Ema let go of him and turned back to her sister.

"Cool, seven o'clock and Jake's cooking so don't be late!"

-x-x-

Edgeworth:That's the wrong 'to',author.

Apollo:'Let go of him and turned back to her sister' sounds really wrong. I guess that's due to what the kink meme has done to me.

Trucy:The what?

Apollo:Oh,er,erm...ask your father later,okay?

Ema:Another line break? Already?

Quote:

When she found out she was pregnant it was a Monday. Now it was Friday and she still hadn't found a way to tell Apollo. She tried to get him alone at work – she'd managed it once. She sat on her lover's lap and kissed his neck. As she was about to move up to his ear to whisper her news to him, Trucy burst in. She leapt off his lap after Trucy started whining.

"God! Get a room!" She whined.

Trucy:The author's at least got me spot on. No making out on the sofa,Polly!

Apollo:Hey! I didn't even-

Lana:How come you can't just tell him to talk to you in private and then tell him?

Ema:This really is playing out like a soap opera.

Edgeworth:(Lover,not husband. Not husband.)

Quote:

Knowing she couldn't tell him at the office she tried to tell him in the privacy of their bedroom in their own home. It was too difficult, it didn't feel right and she had no idea how to break it to him.

-x-x-

Ema:And yet another line break?

Phoenix:Honestly,I'm getting quite bored so far. Just waiting for Ema to tell the big news is tiring me.

Quote:

She'd got out of the shower and Apollo had jumped in after her. The bathroom was an en-suite so it made her conscious when she talked to herself as she knew Apollo could hear her (she'd been caught a few times before). She stood in front of the floor length mirror and undid her towel then fastened it back around her waist. She stared at her stomach and unconsciously began to touch it.

"Something amazing is going to happen inside me…" She whispered quietly. She heard the shower being switched off and continued to stare at the naked top half of her body in the reflection.

Trucy:Ew!

Everyone else:AAAH!

Edgeworth:*penalty* NGGHOOOH! (Only half of my bar left...)

Phoenix:Trucy! *covers her eyes* Why didn't you say anything about the nudity,narrator?!

Oops,I'm sorry. I'll just summarise the rest. And...

[Apolo and Ema tell each other how much they love the other and make out in the shower. Then there's yet another line break.]

Trucy:Ew.

Quote:

"Hey Em, hey Apollo!" Lana welcomed them in. "Come in and take a seat in the living room." She kicked a teddy away from the couch and offered them the seats.

It was the dinner that would make her say she was pregnant...

Lana:So I'm also calling you Em now?

Trucy:Hey Polly,is that teddy bear yours?

Apollo:Um,er,no,it's Ema's.

Ema:Yeah,it actually is mine.

Trucy:Really? Ha!

Ema:*whispers to Apollo* I saved you there on purpose. To pay me back,you are going to get me a bag of snackoos afterwards.

Apollo:*sigh* Fine. (Why must I always suffer?)

Phoenix:At dinner,huh? That's going to be awkward.

Quote:

"Would you like a drink?" She offered the two bottles of wine to Apollo.

"White please." Apollo smiled. He took the glass from Lana's hands. "Thanks." He took a sip.

"Ema?" She offered her a glass of red wine.

Ema:And here comes the backpedal...

Quote:

I can't drink alcohol if I'm carrying a baby… she gulped.

"No thanks." Ema declined as politely as she could.

"Come on Ema, you're not driving." Apollo smiled.

"…Uh…" She took a deep breath. "Lana can I just talk to Apollo outside for a moment, I need some air." She took Apollo's hand and led him out into the cool night air.

Edgeworth:The first part isn't even in quotes! And how do you gulp while saying something?

Phoenix:Ssh,we're almost there.

Quote:

"Something wrong?" Apollo asked as he took her hands.

"I can't drink that wine."

"Why?" Apollo asked soothingly, realising she appeared upset.

"I wanted to tell you when we were alone but…I didn't go for coffee with Lana on Monday…I went to the doctor's."

"Why are you sick?" Apollo asked alarmed.

"…I'm pregnant…" She whimpered before crying again.

Apollo:FINALLY! Emphasis on the first syllable,because I feel fine again!

Ema:Also,I don't drink on a regular basis.

Trucy:But didn't you-

Ema:I don't know what you're talking about.

Quote:

"We're having a baby!" Apollo exploded with joy then held his crying girlfriend in his arms.

I found the sporking's emphasis on Apollo and Ema's marital status strange and sort of out of character. I could see how somebody might get offended by this if they knew someone who had a child while single or were born to unmarried parents.

However, I'm impressed how well you managed all the different sporkers. I don't think I could write a spork with that many sporkers.

I guess,but it's usually seen by people as sort of taboo to do that stuff,which is why I put a bit of emphasis on it. I can see how people would get offended by that though,and I'll try not to do that sorta crap again.

And thanks! I did try to even out the number of lines for each Sporker and I feel that it worked out quite nice.

More than offensive, I found it just weird to focus on that, especially with the fic full of ridiculous stuff to mock like the doctor checking the pregnancy test instead of Ema to confirm the pregnancy and somehow knowing how long she's been from that, and Lana pulling out two different wines in a family reunion as if they were in a restaurant.

-"Back to this again already? That's not even a week!" -"I'm not sure whether this is better or worse than dealing with the fop,honestly." -"Is he honestly that bad? Maybe I should report him to the Chief Prosecutor." -"We've had this talk,Detective Skye. As long as he hasn't done anything wrong to you,there's no reason to request a new prosecutor to be partnered up to." -"All joking aside,I really have been bored by this fic so far. Maybe something interesting this chapter?" -"Why's everyone so down? Cheer up,it'll be just fine!"

Spoiler:

As usual,we open up at the Sporking Theatre,where for once,all the Sporkers are in the seats.

Trucy:That's because the snack bar is closed!

Apollo:Yeah,what gives,narrator?

Oh,we had a pizza party there yesterday. It was quite-

Speakers:Narrator! Be quiet!

*everyone jumps mildly due to the heavily irritated tone of the management*

S-sorry,boss.

Speakers:Anyway,I got a transcript of the Sporking the other day since I was half asleep throughout. I have to say,I'm disappointed in you all.

Ema:Huh?

Lana:Did we not spork the tale properly?

Speakers:No. You all kept saying some crap about the protagonists not being married and didn't pay any attention to the actual problems. It was so apparent that we actually sporked the sporking yesterday. But that's a different tale. Anyway,lay off all this talk about whether they're married and whatnot and pay closer attention to what's actually happening.

Edgeworth:Fine,we shall try.

Phoenix:No more stuff about all that,okay,gang?

Apollo:Don't call us gang.

Trucy:I actually like the sound of it. We're a gang~

Speakers:So,to punish you,we've not only closed down the snack bar-

Ema:Eh,I can live with that. MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH

Phoenix:Me too. *drinks some 'grape juice'*

Speakers:But we're making you Spork TWO chapters today.

Edgeworth:Ngh..!

Apollo:What?!

Lana:That's not very nice.

Speakers:Too bad. Deal with it. Anyway,roll it now.

Quote:

Chapter 2

Weeks 5 & 6-Morning Sickness!

Apollo:Wait,we're skipping right to week 5?

Ema:Better them than us. MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH

Trucy:Who's them?

Ema:Fic!me and fic!Apollo.

Lana:Last time,I believe you told Mr.Justice about your baby. He reacted nicely to it,but you still haven't told me yet.

Edgeworth:That also bothers me-

Quote:

"How come you didn't tell Lana?" Apollo asked as he joined Ema on their bed.

"Well…I want it to be our little secret." Ema smiled. "Thanks for buying me out of the wine thing."

Edgeworth:....That's not a viable excuse,author!

Ema:Yeah,I'd totally trust Lana over Apollo.

Apollo: ... (Well,that hurt my feelings.)

Phoenix:Speaking of the wine thing,she brought more than one wine to the family reunion,didn't she? That was weird.

Trucy:Daddy,why are you of all people bringing this up? You've got at least three different brands of-

Phoenix:Sssh! Don't tell them,Trucy. It's our little secret,remember?

Apollo:(Why do I doubt that she was going to say grape juice?)

Phoenix:(I can't let them know I have old orchard juices. That's so old fashioned! What will they think of me when they find out?)

Quote:

"No problem." Apollo helped her to remove her shirt and pull her pyjama top over her head. "I'm going to treat you like a queen now." He kissed her neck gently. "…You do realise you'll have to tell them eventually though, right?"

Phoenix:Hey,narrator! Trucy's still here!

Oops,sorry. I'll fast forward past this bit.

Quote:

"Do you think it will be a boy or a girl Apollo?"

Apollo:Didn't they confirm it to be a man last time?

Speakers:No,they were speaking about you that time. They said,'I heard you got a man!' Of course,you weren't focussing on that-

Edgeworth:We already apologised for that!

Phoenix:*ahem*Anyway,do you think it'll be a boy or a girl? Place your bets!

Apollo:What do you think,Mr.Wright?

Phoenix:...I'll write it down on this chit of paper. I'll check it afterwards. *takes a chit of paper,writes boy on one side and girl on the other*

Apollo:Oh. I'm betting it'll be a boy.

Ema:Girl.

Lana:Boy.

Edgeworth:Probably a girl,I'd think.

Trucy:I don't think it'll be just one baby.

Phoenix:What do you mean,Trucy?

Trucy:Just a hunch? I don't think we have the full picture yet.

Edgeworth:Moving on from this foolish game...

Quote:

"I'm happy either way." He nuzzled her neck before letting her lay down.

The prospect of parenthood was one Apollo had never even considered before meeting Ema, not even other relationships he had been in for a long period of time.

-x-x-

Ema:The first line break of this chapter already?

Edgeworth:The large amount of small scenes is bothering me.

Trucy:Wait,you've been in other relationships before,Polly?

Apollo:*blush* I-it...

Trucy:Aw,come on,Polly! Tell us!

Apollo:Um.can we move on,narrator?

Sure,Pollypop.

Apollo:Agh! (I forgot that the narrator likes me...)

Quote:

"Ema! There's a letter here for you." She emerged from the bedroom, dressed in her pink pyjamas and joined him at the breakfast bar. She took the neat handwritten letter from her boyfriend's hands.

Phoenix:What's this,now?

Quote:

Ema,

I bought a scanner from a friend of mine at the hospital. I thought you might like to take a look at the new life growing inside of you, even though at this early stage there probably isn't much to see. I've also made arrangements for you to go for a twelve week scan.

I will give you those details when you arrive at the surgery. Could you come to the surgery at: 10 a.m. on Friday the 2nd.

Thanks, Dr Smith

Phoenix:Dr.Smith? How much more generic of a name can you get?

Apollo:Mary?

Trucy:Either way,I'm excited to see if I'm right!

Quote:

"Apollo, what day is it?"

"Friday, why?" He asked as he offered her a slice of his toast.

"Do we both have the day off?"

"You do, I don't. Why baby?" Apollo leaned against her arm so he could read the letter.

Lana:'Why baby'? How philosophical of you,Mr.Justice.

Apollo:I think they meant to write 'Why,Baby?'

Edgeworth:I see that the author's lack of usage of commas hasn't changed in the slightest. And why does Detective Skye have Friday off? I don't believe she's told anyone in the Force about her pregnancy,and detectives have to work even on Fridays.

Apollo:And why is she asking me? If we're together,we should at least have a basic knowledge of each other's schedules for the week.

Quote:

"It's from my doctor, she has a scanner at the surgery and she wants to use it on me so I can see my new baby growing inside me." Ema smiled as Apollo wrapped his arm around her waist and tugged her towards him gently.

"Would you like me to come? I'm not doing much today." Apollo offered.

"No baby, just promise you'll come to my twelve week scan." She kissed his forehead. "What time is it?"

"Eight."

-x-x-

Ema:I swear,if only the fic could end in a few of these short scenes,I'd be a happy woman.

Trucy:Just so you know,Polly,I wouldn't allow you to leave until you finished your work. I could go see Ema for you though and-

"Take a seat on the bed over there." The doctor wheeled her chair over to the side of the bed Ema had taken a seat on.

"What are we going to be able to see?" Ema asked.

Lana:And here's the big moment.

Phoenix:I wonder who's going to be right now.*looks at Trucy,who seems very anxious*

Quote:

"Hm…well it's week five, so it's going to be a baby, not just cells. Only it's going to be very, very tiny maybe only a millimetre or two long. Its heart will be beating though." The doctor assured. "And this lovely machine here can enlarge the image of the baby inside of you, so we can take a look." She smiled.

Edgeworth:*adjusts glasses*

Apollo:*sweats nervously*

Quote:

"This gel's quite cold Ema." The doctor warned before emptying some of the gel onto her stomach. Ema yelped at the coldness on her stomach. "It's ok, let's take a look shall we?"

Trucy:Oh boy oh boy oh boy!

Ema:MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH

Quote:

"There we go." Sure enough there was a tiny little life inside of her.

"Aww, it's so tiny!" Ema cooed.

"Indeed it is. Cute, huh?"

"Yeah…" Ema sighed happily.

Trucy:Aw. So much for that.

Ema:...oh. That's not that cute,scientifically.

Apollo:Wait,so we don't get to know its gender?

Lana:I suppose not.

Edgeworth:Why were you all so excited about that? To get your money?

Phoenix:I guess that we may have been a bit too presumptuous.

Quote:

"I always wanted to do this job when I was training at the hospital." The doctor smiled.

Apollo:Ew?

Quote:

"So what's happening with the baby right now?" Ema asked.

"Well, as you can see the baby is already starting to form, the heart is starting to form into chambers and beginning to beat. Plus, its nervous system starts to develop and perhaps its bone and muscle." The doctor moved the scanner from Ema's stomach.

"Thanks doctor." Ema smiled.

"Did you tell your partner?" The doctor asked as she wiped the gel from Ema's stomach.

Trucy:That gel looks yucky.

Quote:

"Yeah, a few days after you confirmed I was pregnant." She sat back up and rolled her shirt back down.

"How did he take it?"

"He exploded with happiness." Ema giggled. "It was kind of weird."

Apollo:Yeah,it was. Not even a little anger? From what I've seen,it doesn't look like we'll have enough to support both ourselves and the baby. Financially,we're screwed.

Quote:

"Good, I'm glad." The doctor leaned back in the chair. "So, have you experienced any changes? Nausea or fatigue?"

"No, not really…I'm a bit bloated I guess."

"Well, I contacted the hospital and this is for you." She offered the paper to Ema.

-x-x-

Ema:What,we're skipping to the next scene without seeing what's on that paper?

Edgeworth:I suppose they're saving it for later.

Quote:

"How'd it go?" Apollo asked as he came home that evening.

"Great! There wasn't much to see though." She kissed his cheek.

"There had to be something."

"Well yeah, a little tiny baby which is starting to develop to look like a baby with a tiny little heart." Ema was blushing.

Lana:I don't understand why you think it's so cute when you can barely even see it.

Phoenix:It's not something you'll understand till you become a parent,Lana.

Phoenix:Maybe so,but for me it's a bit different. Trucy was heartbroken at the sudden loss of her father and kept looking down and hiding her sad,tearful eyes. It was up to me to slowly open up her shell and look at me with those wonderful eyes that she still has to this day. She's now happy again. Even if I never got to see her as a dot,I still experienced the satisfaction of it. Even when she's sad she's adorable. But it's up to us,the parents,to make her happy and cute.

Trucy:Aw,daddy! That's so sweet!

Ema:I have to admit,you made me tear up a bit. *sniff* MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH

Lana:Wise words,Mr.Wright. You truly have matured since we last met.

Edgeworth:Yes,despite his...unfortunate looks,Wright has long since matured from that Rookie lawyer he was ten years ago.

Apollo:(I can't believe it. Did we just have an emotional moment in this place?)

[Ema and Apollo discuss what to get for both her and the baby,and what they'll have for dinner. The scene then ends.

Ema:*cough* *cough* Yeah. That's what I get for simultaneously sniffling and munching,I guess.

Quote:

The following week marked week six. It was the early hours of the morning and Ema was awake. She felt a little sick. She glanced down at Apollo asleep beside her before crawling out of the bed and into the bathroom.

Introducing, the morning sickness!

Apollo:Oh yeah,that's what this chapter was called. And it's finally here,about...I'm estimating half way into it.

Quote:

"Em?" Apollo had been woken by the light shining through from the bathroom.

Edgeworth:How does-

Phoenix:Let's not question the arrangement of this house. I'm sure this works somehow,okay?

Quote:

"Em! Are you ok?"

"Y-yeah…" She murmured. Apollo wasn't convinced. He crawled out form under the sheet and knelt down beside her in the bathroom.

Edgeworth:It's from,not form.

Ema:At least the typos are only occasional.

Quote:

"Morning sickness?" Apollo smiled as he rubbed her back.

"Yeah." She shuddered before standing up. "Isn't it a bit early?"

"No, I don't think so." Apollo took a glass from the medicine cabinet and filled it with water. "Drink up."

Lana:The way they worded that sounds like you randomly took a glass and filled it with water. That's rather dangerous,Mr.Justice.

Apollo:That's not me!

Quote:

After a couple more hours sleep

Edgeworth:Use either 'couple more hours' sleep' or 'couple more hours of sleep'. Not that.

Quote:

Apollo was moving around the house. He was in the kitchen making Ema breakfast – pancakes with lashings of whipped cream and bananas. He poured her a glass of orange juice and placed it on the tray as well.

"Morning baby." Apollo placed the tray on the table at the side of his bed before nudging her gently.

"…Mornin'…" She yawned.

"You hungry? I made you breakfast." She stretched her limbs before sitting up.

"My favourite!" She giggled. "I wish I could have a cup of coffee though…"

Ema:I tried not commenting on this,but why does the author portray me as this really giggly,excitable, and emotional person?

Apollo:Yeah,you're far more moodier in reality.

Ema:Hey! *throws snackoo*

Apollo:Ow!

Trucy:Daddy never lets me have coffee either.

Phoenix:That's because milk is better for the bones,sweetheart. Plus,coffee can keep you awake all night and can cause a lot of third degree burns.

Speakers:Ah,need to stop drinking so much,then. Thanks for the reminder.

Apollo:How do you know that last part,Mr.Wright?

Phoenix:Long story.

Quote:

"I know, I know…" He whispered. "How about I quit with you too? No more coffee or alcohol."

"Really?" She looked at the plate of food before looking at him. "Thanks, hey do you want some?"

He was trying to be as involved as he could in the pregnancy. He wanted to make sure his girlfriend was as comfortable as possible and he was always happy to do stuff for her. He still wanted to be more involved – sure, he was going to her scan with her next month but he still wanted to be more involved.

Trucy:Whoa! I wasn't expecting to see paragraphs again.

Lana:Actually,me neither. There's been a lot of talking going on here.

Quote:

"I don't think there's much more you can do…" Ema whispered as she undid the lid on the yog(h)urt pot. "I mean…you've been the best for me. You drop everything to help me when I'm not feeling good or I'm in pain and you sit with me at night and talk. It's not like you've left me to fend for myself." Apollo leaned against the arm of the couch, Ema shifted so she was sat between Apollo's legs, leaning back against him.

Trucy:Ew! To quote fic me,get a room,you two!

Apollo:We did. You're the one intruding.

Quote:

"I know but you're the one with the baby inside of you." He wrapped his arms around her stomach. "You're the one putting up with all these changes and the sickness and everything. I'm still me, nothing amazing is happening to me…"

"Sure it is." She dipped the spoon into her desert. "You're looking after me and you have feelings for the baby so that means you're developing daddy instincts." She licked the spoon clean and waited to feel the sickness in her stomach.

Ema:No I'm waiting to feel the sickness? So I knew it would make me feel sick!

"Don't worry about it honey." Lana assured. "Apollo you can take her out the chair if you want…"

Edgeworth:Author-

Everyone:USE YOUR COMMAS!

Edgeworth:Agh! What was that?

Phoenix:We decided to complete your sentences for you.

Lana:Yes,you're getting a tad predictable,Mr.Edgeworth.

Quote:

"How can I get more involved with Ema's pregnancy too?" Apollo asked as the baby giggled excitedly and wriggled in his arms.

"Well, what do you do now?"

"He does everything!" Ema declared.

Apollo:Poor me.

Trucy:Poor Apollo.

Quote:

"Hm…did you think about prenatal classes Em?" Lana asked.

Phoenix:Is that supposed to say 'parental'?

Edgeworth:No,prenatal classes do exist.

Apollo:Good on you,author.

Quote:

"No…I'm not even sure what they are."

"Well, it's where couples or single moms go. They teach you how to bond and how to be comfy and how a man can help. They can even help you with the birth." Lana smiled. "Me and Jake went to some when I was pregnant with Neil, he felt more included after."

Phoenix:Pregnant with Neil? That sounds wrong,almost.

Quote:

"There you go, we can go to some of those." Ema smiled. "I still think you do more than enough."

"Apollo, you're going to make a good dad – I can tell because Ema's smiling so much and even baby Madeline seems relaxed around you." Lana smiled. "So when's the first scan?"

"I've already seen the baby when I went back to the doc's but Apollo and me are going to the twelve week scan next month." Ema was excited now.

So, Ema's got a bump and urges for sugar. That night when she lay with Apollo she knew they both felt like they were bonding with her baby already.

Trucy:Somehow I doubt we're going to find out the gender this chapter.

The lights come back on.

Trucy:I guess so.

Phoenix:Oh well. I guess we'll only find out who's right next time! Keep your votes in mind,y'all.

Speakers:Actually,write it down on a chit of paper and leave it here. Just like Mr.Wright.

Phoenix:*gulp* I guess so.

*everyone keeps their bets on the table and start to leave*

Trucy:Whew,that was really long!

Phoenix:You said it,Trucy.

Edgeworth:Actually,Wright,I have something important to ask of you.

Phoenix:Shoot.

Edgeworth:Are you sure it isn't spelt yogurt?

Phoenix:Come on,Edgeworth,we went over this!

Trucy:And we'll show it to you if we must. Come on with us,Uncle Edgeworth!

Apollo:Off they go. I still think it's yogurt.

Ema:I think it's-hey,where's my snackoo bag? And where's Lana?

*Lana comes with the bag,munching hungrily*

Lana:MUNCH You know,this stuff ain't so bad. MUNCH

Ema:Sis! *laughs* That's mine!

Lana:Haha! Not anymore,Ema!

Apollo:Hey,hey,stop it now.

Ema:You heard him,Lana! He's going to buy more snackoos for us?

Apollo:Wait,what?

Lana:Oh really? How nice. I'll have the same flavour as this,Mr.Justice.

Apollo:Huh? What? Wait-

Ema:I'll have two bags myself.

Apollo:What? Where? Who? Huh?

Lana:Hey,no fair! I also want two bags!

Apollo:(....In times like this,I've only got one thing to say.)

Ema:Well,Apollo? Speak up.

Apollo:Fine.

...

Lana:Objection overruled.

Apollo:Wait,what?

Ema:Yeah,you promised. Now get us some!

Apollo:(Oh,dammit.) Fine then. *sigh*

And thus our Sporkers leave the theatre,talking in groups. See you next time!

Suddenly, it is I, back from the dead! (Although I really just made like two posts and never sporked)

ANYWAYSI said I'd spork Apollo Justice: Trinity of Truth. And I am! Except for the fact that I lost my sporking! So I'm rewriting it! Anyways, I hope you guys are ready for the sporking debut of Hugh O'Conner!

@SC: I dunno why but the Yogurt or Yoghurt stuff amused me. You're probably already aware of this but they're technically both right: Yogurt is the American-English spelling, Yoghurt is the British-English Spelling.

I just joined here a week ago, but I used to read the sporkings before that (I found my way here through TV Tropes). All the sporkings here are simply amazing, and some have made me laugh to the point of tears (I'm looking at you, Phoenix Drive and Breathing is a Necessity). I think I've even got a better grasp on the AA characters due to this, and I'm seriously happy I got to read all of this.

Spoiler: Apollo & Ema: The Baby Chronicles

Southern Corn, how are you managing so many different characters? It must be tough with six sporkers and all.My favourite parts in the sporking are: the discussion about the child being a boy or a girl and Phoenix writing both on a chit, then the Management declares that everybody can write on chits and place it in the Theatre.Second, when Apollo asked about the chief and everybody is like 'you don't wanna know'.Third, the discussion on yog(h)urt and Edgeworth's constant penalties. I don't think I've ever seen him get these many penalties.

If there's one problem I have however, it's the lack of spaces between commas and the colons in the sporking. For example, "Lana:Actually,me neither." looks weird to me because of the lack of spaces. "Lana: Actually, me neither." - looks better.

Has anybody written a sporking with Gregory and Miles in it? I remember somebody saying something about this, but has it been written? I think it could be pretty fun to see both of them, along with some others, sporking. Or a sporking with AAI Franziska/Miles and Phoenix?

Making stuff up as you go along sounds just like you. But it's still a talent to manage so many at one time without one of them going OOC.

I can't get past quarter of the fic before I start laughing. Since you're calling dibs, please bring Kay if possible. I want to see her reaction to 'I'll be the great thief's ass.' And Edgeworth goes without saying. Probably Franzy and Nick? Or Nick and Maya?

Then, best of luck to you! Again, I haven't touched that chapter, though I checked to see if it was updated - these fics are far easier to bear during a sporking.Who all are you bringing? Or is it going to be a surprise?
